Zombie Frappuccino

The whole idea of zombies is the idea that rampant, mindless consumerism destroys culture and society. So of course Starbucks had to make a Zombie Frappuccino for its promotional Halloween drink.

Last year, they created the Frappula Frappuccino, see review here . And this year, following the “success” of the Unicorn Frappuccino , Starbucks released the green and pink colored monster that is the Zombie .

Available only from October 26, 2017 to October 31, 2017 , the Zombie Frappuccino is a creme-based Frappuccino with caramel apple flavored powder and a pink mocha whipped creme. The sides of the cup are also covered in a Zombie Mocha Drizzle which consists of mocha sauce and pink powder.

I can definitely say that this drink tastes like Halloween. The primary taste is sweet but fruity as you definitely taste the caramel apple powder. But I think the mocha flavoring is confusing, as if you had a caramel apple pop and then immediately ate a tootsie roll. It’s sweet then sour then has a chocolate after taste. My taste buds can’t decide if I love or hate it. Maybe I’m just getting too old for Halloween tricks and treats.
